HOME Made

Project HOME residents earn income making hand made soap and candles in a variety of natural scents

The HOME Made brand was created in 2013. That year, 27 Project HOME residents generated income through the enterpise. Today more than 49 residents are earning income.

HOME Made is a brand of gift products made by Project HOME residents in a workshop setting with the support of staff and volunteer artisan facilitators. HOME Made products include candles, soap, jewelry and greeting cards. Using a workshop model, residents are paid for each item they create for sale- directing the pace of their own work and income.

This model is intended to offer a safe and welcoming opportunity for interested residents to earn income, build self-esteem and a sense of possibility that they can succeed in a work environment.
